Promotion hopefuls Brentford are currently locked at 0-0 with visiting Rotherham United in the Championship this afternoon, with Steve Evans and his men closest to taking the lead in the first period.

Following a tame opening 15 minutes in which Rotherham failed to get a foot on the ball, the visitors sought to take aim from distance as both Adam Hammill and Jack Barmby fired wildly over the Brentford goal.

Brentford had to wait for almost 20 minutes to muster their first opportunity and it came via a cross from Moses Odubajo, which saw Stuart Dallas head wide of the left post.

Richard Smallwood was the architect behind United's chance in the 24th minute when he picked out Matt Derbyshire, leaving the striker to send his effort wide of the target.

The visitors should have taken the lead when Barmby picked out Smallwood inside the box, but he was thwarted by a fine reaction save from David Button at the bottom corner.
